Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

My therapist made a comment about how China is a failed socialist experiment because they have 2-3 year olds working in factories. I responded "So we've been told." She looks at me like I'm crazy. (Not a great look for a therapist) "I've not seen any evidence of that."

"Because they're such a closed country!"

"Which means you have no evidence to your point either?"

"Well, missionaries... anyway!"

Wrong, they're all mind-wiped sleeper agents made to BELIEVE they're from wealthy backgrounds. With the exception of God-Chairman Mao—who is alive and sitting upon the golden throne, as the immortal guardian of authoritarianism—all Chinese citizens are sweatshop workers.

If you think about it, this is the only explanation that makes sense.

I never thought about it like that. But you are probably right

The Immortal Zhuxi lies within his crystal tomb, ever vigilant. It is said that a million peppercorn souls are consumed a day to fuel His immense hunger from the psychic strain of repelling the ravenous Sparrow from the borders of the Middle Kingdom.
